Hundreds of cameras tour the show – some professional and countless hobbyists. It\u2019s hard to get a clean shot with all the automotive appreciators constantly inspecting every nook and cranny. This makes for some creative photography. Photo closeups of grilles and headlights become useful as do candid shots of those dedicated enough to be at a car show at dawn.<\/p>\n
Who goes to a car show at dawn on a Saturday morning? Seriously. Chances are, if you are reading this, you are one of these dedicated car enthusiasts that prefer the smell of petrol in the cold morning air over a cozy bed with a naked spouse.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\nIf you understand the joy that comes from looking at rows and rows of classic Porsches, the prospect of using up one of the only two mornings you have to sleep in would not sound so far-fetched. Don\u2019t like 911\u2019s? C&C Irvine hosts countess marques like Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Triumph, Rolls-Royce and so on. Can\u2019t name them all, but you bet they are there.<\/p>\n
Not everyone likes C&C Irvine unfortunately. Mostly those that get turned around. While no Studio 54, \u201cbouncers\u201d will ask a selection of cars to turn around and park at the nearby multi-story. This usually precedes screeching tires and smoke coming from a rather upset visitor that probably spent 5 hours polishing his ride the previous evening instead of living out the typical Friday night.<\/p>\n
No real criticism of the organizers. They have to do what they have to do, otherwise many really special cars would not make it in. Generally, cars less than 15 years old are more susceptible to being sent away. The more doors the worse are the chances. Too bad the Mitsubishi Evos fall in this category. A number of very nicely-built Evo IX and X\u2019s often gets sent away. The one you see in the photo essay happened to think ahead and likely arrived at five in the morning. That didn\u2019t save him from getting a printout with the rules tucked under the windshield wiper.<\/p>\n
We do our best to attend Cars and Coffee Irvine once a month or anytime we feel it\u2019s time to be overloaded with automobile excellence. For those of you not lucky enough to live so close to such a word class motoring event, you have us to bring you the high points. Enjoy the photo essay. We purposely shot these photos with this story in mind. We also purposely built this photo series in a style quite different than what we typically create.<\/p>\n
Seventy five pictures is a lot of pictures. We wanted to convey an entire experience and we felt anything less wouldn’t be enough. Honestly however, this piece was originally going to be titled, “100 Photos from Cars and Coffee Irvine in Black and White” but we started trimming it down. The end result is the images you see in the slideshow which we are very proud of. In which case, enjoy our 75 masterful images! Until next time.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
